Chris Bains and I hit the ground running early in the morning to break down everything Bearcats. We talk about the huge win over Wichita State, celebrate the Bearcats, namely Gary Clark’s, success in the conference awards and run through the AAC tournament

Jonah Keri is the author of the new book Up, Up, and Away: The Kid, the Hawk, Rock, Vladi, Pedro, le Grand Orange, Youppi!, the Crazy Business of Baseball, and the Ill-fated but Unforgettable Montreal Expos (that’s a long title, yo). Odds are if you’re a baseball nerd you’ve been hearing a lot about this, and the early reviews are that it’s well worth the anticipation. I wouldn’t know because Jonah’s yet to send me a copy– SACREBLEU!!!! Despite the slight, I’ve decided to finally give this New York Times Best-Selling writer and Grantland columnist the type of A-Level public reach his work deserves

Carlos Ruiz has a .583 OPS over 43 games. Start a Google search for black market Adderall. Jimmy Rollins current OPS of .669 and 9 stolen bases are the lowest of his career, and he’s not getting any younger

At 1 a.m. on May 7, 1991, Lenny Dykstra, drunk as he sped along winding Darby-Paoli Road in Radnor Township, slammed his red Mercedes sports car into a tree. The then-Phillies centerfielder escaped with fractured ribs and a broken collarbone.

Super late on this week’s general discussion. Two games this weekend against the Jays at CBP, then Monday night’s opener. I know none of you are excited for this at all. Sorry to remind you of the nothingness that is opening day. But hey! Box score recaps begin Thursday night, (or Friday morning).

As you all know by now, John Lannan was inked to a 1 year deal worth $2.5M with another $2.5M available via incentives. The lefty is best known for beaning Phillies (11 of his 30 hit by pitches have been Phillies players) and breaking Utley’s hand, but the lefy has been a solid back-of-the-rotation starter since 2008. He’s been with the Nationals his entire career, racking up 783.2 IP over 134 starts with a 4.01 ERA/1.42 WHIP and 42-52 record. As a reader commented on yesterday’s post- Lannan is 3-13 with a 5.53 ERA vs the Phillies and 39-39 with 3.80 ERA vs everyone else. Rotation: 1.

This one’s courtesy of the donkeys at Astros County , who are probably taking solace in the notion that Ed Wade was at least writing a novel about terrorists while destroying their franchise. I mean, it’s just too rich so I’m going to excerpt the Amazon description: Steve Laun returns home to attend the funeral of a father he hasn’t seen in years, only to learn that his father’s “accidental” death is cloaked in mystery. With the help of neighbors and a burning desire to correct wrongs on a number of fronts, Laun sets out to get to the bottom of his father’s death, and, in the process, uncovers and thwarts the efforts of a local arms dealer with worldwide terrorist connections. While following Laun’s quest for justice, we learn that there is more to Steve Laun than meets the eye
